LADIES TOURNAMENT.
Nine Fair mpetitors-Excellent Riding
Names of Contestants.


Names of Contestants.
The ladies' tournament, which took place
at Agricultural Park yesterday morning,
attracted another large crowd of people,
and they were well paid for their visit. The
grand stand was thronged with people,
women and children predominating, while
the track and quarter stretch were literally
lined with men. The names of the con-
testauts were Miss Anna Kemler and Miss
Johannab Kemler, two sisters, from Para
disc valley, Nevada; Mrs. DR.. Bailey, San
Francisco; Miss NJ. G. Maloney, Nevada
City Miss Kate George, Sacramento; Mrs
J. r. Evans, Sacramento; Miss Nettie
Jackson, Florin; Miss Belle Hewett, Sacra-
mento and Miss Winnie Clark, of Yolo
All the ladies showed superior horseman-
ship. They rode down by the stand singly,
by twos, threes, fours and fiyes, and then
all abreast. The exhibition was considera-
bly, marred by an ugly brute of horse
which was rode by Mrs. Evans. This horse
is not only dangerous to the lady who rides
it, but imperils the lives OF the Others The
riding was nothing but galloppg, the jump
ing OF hurdles and racing being reserved
for the second tournament, which takes
place on Friday next.

THE RACES.
Fast Time Made-A Large Attendance
Incidents on the Track,

Fast Time AIade-A Large Attendance
Incidents on the Track,
The weather Yesterday was delightful,
cool and pleasant and the track in excel
cent condition. The attendance at the race
track was the largest of the season, the
stands were all well filled and the circus
seats at both ends fully occupied, while the
paddock was full of vehicles.
The horses went to the quarter for the
start at 1;15, but were not sent for the heat
until o'clock Grover Cleveland, the IA
vorite in the pools, acted badly and refused
to come to the scratch and it was feared
by his hackers he would be left at the post
They were right in their fears, for at last the
word go was given, the flags were dropped
and the youngsters skipped out at lively
gaiI, leaving Grover far in the rear.
Johnnie Gray led, closely followed by Car
men and Daisy d. At the three-quarter
pole Daisy d. went to the front. AS they
came down the homestretch it was nip and
tuck between Johnnie Gray, Carmen and
Daisy D., with Not Idle close up. Daisy
d. passed under the wire a nose in advance
of Kenney, Not Idle third and Grover
Cleveland away in the rear. Time, 1:154.

Mr.. Powderly, Grand Master Workman

Mr.. Powderly, Grand Master Workman
K. of L., in speaking of the landing of
emigrants in this country, utters what we
consider the proper sentiment in the fol-
lowing words "The influx of foreigners
at the rate of 1880 to 10000 day is det-
rimental to the emigrant and the conntry
to which he comes. I say and now repeat
that until it can be shown that the person
landing on our shore can be self-sustain-
ing for one year he should not be allowed
to land. The man who is not self-sus.
tanning is pauper, and this country has
no use for him. IF he throws a resident
of this country out of employment by
taking his situation from him and works
for less wages, he makes a pauper or a
dependent of the American. Every man
to be in accord with the genius of our in
stitution should be independent and not
dependent.

EMBRACE THE OPPORTUNITY.

Friends, come! Let US not procrastinate
and throw away our opportunity to bring
Sharp county to the front. We cannot af-
ford to let the State Exposition be held
without exhibiting our varied resources
to the world. We are hedged in as it
were from the leading transportation lines,
and prospectors from the north and east,
with money TO invest, can know but very
little of US, our industries, the fertility oil
our soil and its adaptability to cotton, frui t
and all the sereals, unless we make an
exhibit. Don't hang back because your
crops are cut little short. Talk to your
neigbbors about it. Let one save some
nice samples Of corn, another some Irish
potatoes, another some sweet potatoes,
then some oats. wheat, cotton, and 80 on
through your products, then gather up all
the mineral specimens in your section;
and get your miller to send sack OF
-four and meal, your ginner some cotton
samples, the potter some of his ware, a
few bricks from the brickyard, some nice
timber specimens from the saw-mills, and
clear glass bottles OF sorghum from the
evapola;ors. Why, there will be no troub-
le for our county to make a creditable
display, Every county in the state will
have its separate department. Let US
endeavor to fill our allotted space full.
A call for a meeting of every man in
the county is published in to-day's paper,
to be held in Evening Shade on Saturday,
9th inst. Come, e0erybody-come and
let US all understand what we can and
will do.

has been beautiful, and think every farmer
in this locality finished sowing wheat this

report that it "snaps" very well, but that it

crop will not exceed that of last year; at
least, it is no better in this valley.
